Office email no longer used for business

A new survey released today suggests that more than 90% of employees use work email to organise their social life and send jokes.

A selection of UK employees from various industries about their email habits, particularly focusing on those that were non-work related. The results reveal that more than half of employees use work email for a number of things besides work, discussing everything from news and current affairs to their social life during office hours.

Almost all of the employees surveyed use work email for organising their social life, more than three-quarters organise holidays on it and almost two-thirds of respondents discuss their relationships on the work email.
